Tanushree Dutta, who has been in the news for her ugly spat with director Shona Urvashi during the shooting of Saas Bahu Sensex in Pune, is in no mood to forgive or forget. "I've taken enough rubbish from them, only because of my producers, Warner Brothers, who have been very cool. But Shona Urvashi has been a nightmare. She has been calling up the media telling them I'm on drugs and that I'm another Parveen Babi. Me on drugs? This is my 13th film. Please check with my other direc tors-producers if I've ever been erratic in my behaviour. I think these people need to check their own mental bal ance."
Tanushree recalls, "I signed on this film without knowing what I was in for. At first things s e e m e d o k a y . Shona's sis ter Masumeh is also in the cast. I've the main role. I was the outsider. I kept my distance. Maybe they didn't like the fact that I didn't party with them after work. But if I've an early morning shoot I'd rather sleep and be fresh."
Whatever the reason for their rancour , all hell broke loose on February 14. "Shona decided to harass me pointedly and continuously on that day. At first I laughed it off, thinking they were making a bakra out of me. But then I realised they were serious. I was made to say the same line for hours on end. I wasn't allowed to go back to my van between shots. For 15 hours non-stop they made me shoot, taunting jeering and openly harassing me . The lights and AC were switched off in my van. It was like a nightmare. " Now there're four days of work left, and Tanushree wonders how she'd be able to go through it. "It's a fantastic script. But the worst experience of my career. Now I wonder if they were doing all this just for publicity. But is this the way to go about it?"
